Greece

The best time to visit this vintage land is during spring and early summer (mid-April to mid-June) or even autumn (Sept to mid-Oct). The mentioned times are perfect and, rather so because you do get to avoid the summer high season, when prices are high, temperature is high as well and the country is teeming with tourists!

Take a flight from Delhi to Greece to reach this stupendous country. The flight isn’t direct and therefore, you will have to take two flights. The distance between Delhi to Greece is around 5700 kilometres, and therefore, the most plausible way to reach Greece from Delhi is, by air.

Thanks to the Greek Gods who beautified this European country with their own brains and hands. What we are trying to say is that the avant-garde beauty of Greece sweeps you from your firm ground and blows your mind completely. There’s never ever been a soul who’s spared of the head over heel love that Greece makes happen! The delicacies are sure to remain in your taste buds for much later in life, and so will the local beverages, people, places and the stories of course. Get ready to be enchanted, for now FOR EVER!!
